title: Optimization of surgical planning of total hip arthroplasty based on computational anatomy.
abstract: This paper describes a method for automated optimization of total hip arthroplasty (THA) planning incorporating joint functionalities. The optimal planning is formulated as maximum a posterior (MAP) estimation, which ensures the best-balance of joint functionalities and bone-implant spatial relations based on their statistical models derived from the training datasets prepared by an experienced surgeon. According to the performance evaluation, four of the six functionalities of the automatically optimized plans were almost equivalent to those of surgeon's plans, and two of them were improved. We consider these results showed a potential usefulness of the proposed method.
